Welcome to The Main Deals web page, it’s here! It’s taken 12 months of talking (non stop) to traders and other local businesses and encouraging them to come on board the electronic train; do what they do best, but let everybody else see it from their electronic gadget before they pop along to their shop – and there’s still some work to do. Thankfully Matt from LS25 Web Design has been a Godsend! For those of you don’t know me, I can change my mind about the slightest of thing at the last minute; it has to be right and thankfully Matt had patience and enjoyed our working partnership; so much so, we’re going to carry on working together. My mission with The Main Deal is all about cross marketing our town. Stop people thinking individually, think as a unit, encouraging and give reason for people to shop and think local first. View what’s on offer before stepping over the door, letting people see what great businesses, bands, charities, events, people we have on our doorstep. 2015 is the year we grow, from an idea, to a vision. If you want to help too, you can - My mission statement is;

DON’T SIT BACK AND LET THINGS HAPPEN, GO OUT AND HAPPEN TO THINGS

This weekly blog will be informal and will tell you about the little factual snippets about our lovely town, things that have been going on in my week, any interesting news I think you will be excited about; not a dog poop campaign in site, just fun stuff that you can’t comment on; because it’s a blog and you have other links for that kinda stuff – links to them are on here too.It’s been a very busy week, returning to work is always a wrench after spending time with your family, friends and eating copious amounts of Quality Street, Roses, unnecessary stuffed dates and peeled fruit. But also getting Garforth out there, all the plans, ideas over the last 12 months start here; hoping to help get our great town showing itself togetherUntil next week.............
